Chapter 139: The Complex Relationship Between Men and Women
Ma Qihong was forced to stop and had to get out of the car: "Why are you here?"
Ye Xiaomei explained the whole story, and Zhang Changjiang, who had been silent, realized that Ye Xiaomei had not received the acceptance letter.
"Xiao Mei, why are you looking for me? If you had told me earlier, I would have been able to check it out for you clearly." Zhang Changjiang finally found a chance to interrupt.
Ma Qihong couldn't help but frown: "Who is this person?" Her eyes were sharp, and she wanted to find out some details of the conspiracy between the two.
After all, Ma Qijun is her younger brother. If his sister-in-law does something embarrassing when he is away, she, as the eldest sister, must take care of it.
"I'm Ye Xiaomei's friend." Zhang Changjiang interrupted first.
Friends? For a married person, the concept of friends, or friends of the opposite sex, is a very vague one.
Ma Qihong was a little impatient:
"Xiao Mei, go back first. I'll ask your brother-in-law about your situation."
As he said this, he pushed his bicycle into the post office.
Ye Xiaomei looked at her elder sister with eager eyes as she got on the bicycle, took down the lunch bucket and disappeared. It seemed that she had come to deliver food to her brother-in-law.
"Why are you so good at causing trouble?" Ye Xiaomei couldn't help but mutter.
Zhang Changjiang felt a thousand grievances rushing past him: "What have I done wrong? I told you that it's no big deal to come to me. It's just an acceptance letter. I can still go to school without it."
When Ye Xiaomei heard this, her back teeth were almost broken. This didn't make any sense. She had passed the exam with her own ability. What was she relying on?
"No, please don't follow me all the time." Ye Xiaomei was not that angry at first, but she was annoyed to death by Zhang Changjiang's annoyance along the way.
"I can really help you find it. Even if I can't find it... Hey, wait a minute." Zhang Changjiang chased after him:
"Didn't you say you were pregnant? I knew you were lying to me. How could a pregnant person leave so quickly?"
Ye Xiaomei was at her wit's end. She stood still and turned back to look at Zhang Changjiang angrily:
"Okay, go check it out, I'll wait for your results."
"I've been waiting for you to say that."
Zhang Changjiang felt that it was extremely rare for Ye Xiaomei to have a good conversation with him. It was true that he had been a bastard before, but wasn't he trying to change?
For example, he has repaid the money he spent on free taxi rides over the past year, and things have gotten better, haven't they?
On the way back in the car, Ye Xiaomei didn't say a word, and Zhang Changjiang opened his mouth several times but couldn't say anything. He could only smack his lips and cross his arms in boredom.
There were just as many people in the carriage as when we came here. It was so crowded that if you weren't careful you'd get stepped on.
Ye Xiaomei looked out the window, feeling confused. Was this trip in vain? Should she just accept her fate? Go home and raise sheep. Raise rabbits, and buy some chicks in the spring.
"Grandma, please sit here with me."
Ye Xiaomei subconsciously glanced sideways at the seat occupied by Zhang Changjiang. He actually stood up and gave it to a grandmother.
Look at Zhang Changjiang again, he is standing in the crowd with a haughty and complacent look on his face, just like a big kid who has not grown up.
"Thank you, young man. There are not many good guys like you nowadays."
The old lady held her crutches upright between her legs for fear of disturbing others.
After such a round of praise, Zhang Changjiang showed an embarrassed look for the first time: "That's right, grandma, just sit there and you can sit as long as you want."
When he said this, he subconsciously looked at Ye Xiaomei. After all, he was no longer a rogue after all.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaomei turned her head and looked out the window with a calm expression.
The smile on Zhang Changjiang's lips gradually disappeared - what should he do to make this woman look at him straight in the eye.
When I got home, it was dark again, and I couldn't avoid Wang Lan's temper.
"You agreed to it yesterday, so where are you today?" Wang Lan was furious. She was slow and calm at first, but now she couldn't suppress her anger.
Ye Xiaomei also knew that she was wrong. The car arrived at the county town at five or six in the evening, and it was already past eight when she walked back.
It's winter again, and it gets dark at six or seven o'clock. Few people are walking outside now.
She planned to tell the truth. After her husband's persuasion, her mother-in-law didn't object to her studying, so she told her everything.
Wang Lan's pupils dilated: "This... this..." She stammered several times before she forced a smile: "It's gone, so it's gone. Maybe it's not your destiny to go to school. Just eat."
When Ye Xiaomei heard this, her heart felt like it was broken into pieces. She was distressed and didn't want to accept her fate.
At this moment, someone outside called out, "Auntie, there's a call for you."
"Okay, I'm here." Wang Lan wiped her mouth and reminded Ye Xiaomei to eat more before leaving.
Ye Xiaomei had no appetite at all. She would feel full even if she didn't eat. She was lying on the bed undressing when she heard Wang Lan coming back from the yard.
"What's the matter?" Ma Kaiqu asked in a low voice.
The two of them were talking in low voices in the yard.
Wang Lan - Qihong said Xiaomei went to the city today, and she went with a young man. Could it be that...
Ma Kaiqu - What are you thinking? Xiaomei is not that kind of girl.
Wang Lan - Even if she wasn't, she would still go to look for the admission letter.
Ma Kaiqu - It's not wrong for someone to look for his or her own admission letter. You are the only one who would make wild assumptions. And Qihong, is she living a good life? Why do you care so much?
Wang Lan - You don't know what's going on here, I'll tell you and you'll understand.
Then, with a creak, the door of the main room closed. Some whispers were heard from inside, but Ye Xiaomei could not hear them.
Suddenly, my father-in-law raised his voice - what's going on? Hurry and get the notice back. Do you want to kill Xiao Chen? You, you always let Qihong do whatever she wants. What good will it do to her family's life?
Ye Xiaomei sat up suddenly.
"Hush, keep your voice down." Wang Lan raised her finger in the main room and subconsciously looked towards the new house. Fortunately, the lights were not on, which meant she was asleep.
"What are you thinking? Don't you know that she has Qijun completely bewitched? We let her do whatever she wants. She looks like she has to go to school, and she has no shame at all. I have to find a way to deal with my daughter."
As soon as Wang Lan said this.
The door to the main room was pushed open with a creak.
Ye Xiaomei stood at the door in thin clothes, the sky and earth outside were bleak under the snow.
Wang Lan was startled.
Even Ma Kaiqu had just found out about it and he was so frightened that he gasped at the thought of being an accomplice.
Isn't he asleep? Wang Lan couldn't believe it. She looked at Ye Xiaomei's expressionless face and suddenly came to her senses. She smiled:
"Come inside quickly, it's cold outside. Look at you, you're pregnant, you have to take care of yourself."
As he spoke, he took out a blanket and covered Ye Xiaomei with it.
"Mom, tell me, what's going on with the acceptance letter?" She looked at the little old lady with a pained heart.
Although she is less than 60 years old, she lives her own life. She has never lost an argument, and she is dignified and energetic. At first glance, she looks like she is in her 40s.
Moreover, she loved herself so much at the beginning, and Xiaomei trusted her so much. She gave herself a sense of security that she had never had in her life, but also gave Ye Xiaomei cliff-like restrictions that she could not even imagine.
Wang Lan was obviously nervous. She exchanged glances with the man and said with a wry smile, "What...what acceptance letter? I, I don't know either."
Bang! Ye Xiaomei threw the teapot on the table.
The boiling water splashed in all directions, and hot steam rose up in the winter mist.
Wang Lan and Ma Kaiqu were so frightened that they stood up reflexively, fearing that they would get burned. Her heartbeat quickened as she stared at Ye Xiaolin in a daze, as if that look pierced her heart.
